  • Chinggis Khan and His Conquest of Khorasan: Causes and Consequences
    CHINGGIS KHAN AND HIS CONQUEST OF KHORASAN: CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES BY ANIBA ISRAT ARA ARSHAD ISLAM INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA ABSTRACT This book explores the causes and consequences of Chinggis Khan’s invasion of Khorasan in the 13th century. It discusses Chinggis Khan’s charismatic leadership qualities that united all nomadic tribes and gave him the authority to become the supreme Mongol leader, which helped him to invade Khorasan. It also focuses on the rise of the Muslim cities in Khorasan where many Muslim scholars kept their intellectual brilliance and made Khorasan the cultural capital of the Muslims. This study apprises us of Chinggis Khan’s war tactics and administrative system which made his men extremely strong and advanced despite their culture remaining barbaric in nature. His progeny also followed a similar policy for a long time until all Muslim cities were fully destroyed. The work also focuses on the rise of many sectarian divisions among the Muslims which brought disunity that eventually led to their downfall. Thus, this study underscores the importance of revitalization of unity in the Muslim world so that Muslims may not become vulnerable to any foreign imperialistic power. Unity also is the key to preserve Muslim intellectual thought and Islamic cultural identities. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the beginning, I would like to say that all praise is to Allah (swt) Almighty; despite the difficulties, with His mercy, and the strength, patience and resilience that He has bestowed on me, I completed my work. I am heartily thankful to my beloved supervisor to Dr. Arshad Islam, whose encouragement, painstaking supervision and tireless motivating from the beginning of my long journey to the concluding level helped me to complete this study.

  • Photography, Archaeology, and Collective Effort at the Tomb of Tutankhamun
    Shouldering the past: Photography, archaeology, and collective effort at the tomb of Tutankhamun Christina Riggs University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK Corresponding author: Christina Riggs, Art History and World Art Studies, Sainsbury Centre 0.28, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK. Email: [email protected] Abstract Photographing archaeological labor was routine on Egyptian and other Middle Eastern sites during the colonial period and interwar years. Yet why and how such photographs were taken is rarely discussed in literature concerned with the history of archaeology, which tends to take photography as given if it considers it at all. This paper uses photographs from the first two seasons of work at the tomb of Tutankhamun (1922-4) to show that photography contributed to discursive strategies that positioned archaeology as a scientific practice – both in the public presentation of well-known sites and in the self-presentation of archaeologists to themselves and each other. Since the subjects of such photographs are often indigenous laborers working together or with foreign excavators, I argue that the representation of fieldwork through photography allows us to theorize colonial archaeology as a collective activity, albeit one inherently based on asymmetrical power relationships. Through photographs, we can access the affective and embodied experiences that collective effort in a colonial context involved, bringing into question standard narratives of the history and epistemology of archaeology. Keywords Archaeological labour, Egyptian archaeology, history of archaeology, history of photography, Tutankhamun 1 The tomb of Tutankhamun is an archaeological discovery more commonly associated with the glint of gold than the gleam of perspiration.

  • Notes on the History of the Sale Room of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo Patrizia Piacentini
    Notes on the History of the Sale Room of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo Patrizia Piacentini Introducing the history of the Sale Room ur research1 began with the copy of part of its register among the Bernard OV. Bothmer (1912–1993) papers now at the University of Milan2. The pages he photographed concern the sales of the year 1962. This register contains photo- graphs, concise descriptions, and the names of those who bought objects judged saleable since they were “duplicates” of pieces already present in the collection, or “useless”, as determined by Egyptologists who worked for the Antiquities Service between the end of the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, and even in the proposal for the construction of the new museum in Cairo, published in 18943. From a close examination of the entire document kept in the Milan Archives, which we will publish in the near future, it seems that in that register are included both objects sold at the Sale Room itself, and objects that got an official export licence by the Antiquities Service. Fig. 1: Photograph of two pages from the Register of the Sale Room of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The Sale Room is mentioned in many sources4 – from guidebooks for the mu- seum and references in publications, in private documents, and scholars’ corre- spondence or journals documenting excavations, like those of the archaeologist James E. Quibell (1867–1935)5, today among the material in the Milan archives. Quibell specified which objects he unearthed might be sold. Other information 75 Patrizia Piacentini can be gleaned from the inventory books of museums with Egyptian antiquities throughout the world, as well as from inquiries of those persons who visited the Sale Room, bought objects there, or had direct contacts with the buyers.

    The Books in My My journey of publication began at the American University of Beirut, which imposed Life: A Memoir on its professors a dictum imported from the United States – “publish or perish.” Part 2 This made publication, especially in foreign journals, the most important standard for Tarif Khalidi climbing the academic ladder toward full professorship. The motto became like a sword hovering over our necks. Academic research is undoubtedly necessary for teaching, but the basic characteristic of a good teacher is the ability to relay academic material to students in a way that awakens their minds and curiosity; regrettably, this was not taken into consideration for academic promotion. My dear friend Kamal Salibi once told me: When I published my first article, which included a list of the greatest judges during the Mamluk period, in a French Orientalist journal, I was overwhelmed by euphoria and went about sending copies of the article to my relatives and friends. One of my friends told me: All you have done is transfer this information from Editor’s Note: one obscure location to another. This is the second of three installments of Tarif Khalidi’s A somewhat harsh judgement, but does it not memoir in JQ, published here with apply to innumerable “academic” articles, permission from the author.

    UNFINISHED BUSINESS: THE GIZA TABLET OF TJENTI (JE 72135) PETER DER MANUELIAN Museum of Fine Arts, Boston One of the most productive long-term excavations in Egyptian archaeology was the Harvard University–Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Expedition at Giza (1905 to 1942) directed by George A. Reisner. In addition to digging at nearly two-dozen other sites, Reisner conducted almost four decades of activity on the Giza plateau. In the course of these excavations he developed a model approach to site analysis that was far ahead of its time, in addition to unearthing countless finds that enriched the collections of both the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Reisner’s diaries are full of accounts of his frequent trips from the “Harvard Camp” headquarters west of the Khafre pyramid to the Cairo Museum, in order to meet with Antiquities Service directors such as Gaston Maspero and Pierre Lacau.1 And he was no doubt very proud of the contributions the Expedition made to the Old Kingdom collections of that venerable institution. One of the Giza objects that entered the Museum is the subject of the pages that follow. ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONTEXT The challenges inherent in reconstructing the developmental history of the Giza Necropolis have received much attention in recent years.2 To use a vastly oversimplified distinction, two categories of private funerary monuments at the site might be separated as 1 I would like to thank Rita Freed, Norma Jean Calderwood curator of Ancient Egyptian, Nubian, and Near Eastern Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for permission to consult and utilize the archives.

  • Le Service Des Antiquités Égyptiennes Sous La Direction De Pierre Lacau
    CAROLE JARSAILLON Doctorante contractuelle du Labex Hastec à l'EPHE UMR 8546 AOrOc (Archéologie et Philologie d'Orient et d'Occident) Thèse sous la direction de Laurent Coulon (EPHE/IFAO) et Anne-Claire Bonneville (Inalco) PROJET DE THESE 2020-2023 Le Service des Antiquités Égyptiennes sous la direction de Pierre Lacau (1914-1937) : enjeux diplomatiques de la gestion de l’archéologie en Égypte au début du XXème siècle Pierre Lacau à l'entrée du tombeau de Toutânkhamon, 1924, Photographie de presse de l'Agence Rol, BNF (Gallica) Le Service des Antiquités Égyptiennes1 se trouve dès sa création en 1858 à un carrefour : celui de la science et de la diplomatie, mais également celui de l'Égypte et de l'Europe. Ce bureau de gestion de l'archéologie en Egypte est créé à l'initiative de l'égyptologue français Mariette au sein du gouvernement égyptien, sous l'autorité directe du Vice-roi Saïd Pacha. Cette institution défend donc les intérêts de l'Égypte et de son patrimoine, tout en étant dirigée par un Français : un premier paradoxe qui annonce sa position centrale dans les enjeux diplomatiques européens et égyptiens des XIXème et XXème siècles. L'occupation anglaise de l'Égypte entre 1882 et 1956 accroît les tensions autour du Service, qui devient un pion décisif dans les relations entre les puissances coloniales française et britannique, ainsi qu'entre ces dernières et l'Égypte. ETAT DE L'ART Si l'histoire de l'archéologie a fait l'objet de plusieurs études mettant en avant ses liens avec l'histoire politique et coloniale,2 l'histoire de l'égyptologie plus spécifiquement n'en est encore qu'à ses débuts.
